About Jill

Jill Hazzard is a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (FL LMHC) with 35 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family and parenting concerns, depression, grief, anger, and relationship problems. She also addresses mood and attention conditions such as bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Jill focuses on practical, conversational work. She uses clear therapy methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to make day-to-day interactions less tense and to reduce the buildup of resentment or repeated outbursts.

Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. That means sessions often include exploring how thoughts affect behavior, practicing new emotional skills, looking at relationships that shape reactions, and identifying small, achievable steps.

She has decades of experience working through family problems, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. Jill also supports people wrestling with guilt, shame, isolation, and caregiver stress.

Conversations are shaped around what each person needs in the moment. To begin, she uses questions and a short plan to set goals, then checks progress and adjusts the work as needed.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Jill draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns that lead to angry reactions and practicing alternative ways of thinking and acting. That work often involves setting small, practical homework tasks between sessions. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to reduce rapid escalation; skill practice and role play transfer easily to virtual conversation.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the conversation on the person's concerns and priorities. The therapist and client work together to find which methods fit best. Deciding on an approach is collaborative and may evolve as goals change or progress is reviewed.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten the time spent traveling, and allow a quicker check-in during a work break or between obligations. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and session length options to match everyday routines and goals.
